Macarons from Laduree!

Though I am a bit late to comment about the macaron craze from Laduree stores but I still hope my comments can benefits other readers out there

Knowing that I am a fan of dessert, my sister bought me macarons from Laduree. Heard from her that there are 2 Laduree stores at Takashimaya and is it best to go to the main store rather then the take-away store since it has lesser queue (not sure now if it still have queue) but anyway, I got to try the blackcurrant, bergamot and coffee.

Among these three, I personally prefer the coffee macaron as it tastes good as though as you are drinking a coffee. The bergamot is lemon it tasted well too with a bit of sour yet sweet lemon taste. Lastly, the macaroon of blackcurrant, perhaps blackcurrant is quite a normal flavour, I will not try blackcurrant macaron the next time since they are so many other flavours waiting to be try!

I always like to patronize this tze char stall with my family as the food is sumptuous! But a side note - do ask them for less oil and salt as sometimes when they have a crowd, our food can get too oily, if not too salty

Therefore, if you are a health conscious person you may want to let the person know when taking down your order. I forgot what is the name of the vegetable as it was ordered by my dad, but I can comment that their vegetables is a must try due to its crunchiness and not vegetable is not too cooked till it became soft.

The crispy skin chicken as recommended by the staff, tastes good as well, as the skin is crispy enough and goes well with the sauce it came with - can eat a lot of rice just by ordering the chicken dish itself.

Lastly, the egg, as you can see and exactly what you are seeing, the egg is as nice as how its look ! So eggy! With outside hard and crispy at the sides and soft in the inside, the egg just tasted awesomely nice. I would say the feeling of how one eat pouched egg, since that is the western kind of feeling. When you eat this egg, you will experiences the Chinese style of feeling. so yum yum!

The pricing of these dishes are reasonable. The vegetables were below $10 and meat were less than $15. Thus the meal itself cost less than $30 for 3 persons. Which I think is worthwhile for the taste and tze char eating experiences.

If anyone of you are staying around north area and would like to have a family day out e.g. On a Sunday to dine, I would strongly recommend you guys to try MAYIM which is located at Northpoint Shopping Centre.

Initially, I have this stereotype thinking that restaurant in a mall would be expensive and standard would be so-so. But Mayim changed this concept of mine, not only that i find the pricing is reasonable since its main dishes is usually below < $10, the food is tasty as well! It's so value-for-money, it amazed me!

One look at the menu, you will find a wide range of variety being offered, as they have noodles such as Ramen, Wanton Mee, White Rice, Fried Rice, Porridge, and 2 pages of dim sum to spoil the foodie for choices!

Speaking of it, I am hungry again! As I am dining with my parents, my dad decided to order something heavy like the fried rice as seen above and Hor Fun to be shared and eat among us.

The must ordered i would say is the KIMCHI! Especially those kimchi lovers out there. You must try their chinese-style of kimchi ! The combination of the cabbage and sweet and spicy sauce is simply perfect. We can go on and on by simply eating the kimchi alone. Since the kimchi is FREE-FLOW and count by 50cents per head. Why not!?

So friends, next time when you past by Northpoint and would like to find a restaurant to go. I strongly recommend Mayim to you

Rushing for lesson and feeling hungry at the same time? Head down to Mr Bean at munch and grab a pancake!

In the early morning, I did not have any time to have my breakfast. I will head over to Mr Bean and order their hot and fluffy pancake. I realised that the staff will make additional pancakes which I felt that they should make only a few extra of each flavour and not too many. Because once the temperature in the pancakes cooled down, the skin will be harder to chew. Hence, each time when I order, I will make sure the pancakes were the hot ones so that I could enjoy the greatness of the pancake and not getting any hard time chewing it.

Nevertheless, Mr Bean pancake still tastes really great. Definitely will patronise again to try out different flavours of the pancakes.

I ordered Green Apple Juice! Green apple have always been one of my favourite fruits ! Although it is sour as compared to red apples. But I would still choose green apple over red apple when comes to drink. Green apple is equally healthy as red apple in terms of their nutritional properties ! Just that green apple is less sweet, less glucose and less antioxidant. It is great to choose juices over carbonated drinks like coke. The service of the auntie is polite. She will ask politely what the student would like to order. This is the service most of the customers hope to receive, however not many staff is able to do it.
